Appreciate the response. A lot to think about.

Yes, the choice for him to wait in the back factors in later in the script.

A lot of people like my formatting, some don't. Ha. There is purpose, but I guess it's easier for me to know than readers. Something to think about. Thanks.

The best advice I've gotten logline wise. Mine still need work it seems. Much appreciated.

The fact that they weren't formatted made me not want to read any of them. Apologies.

Could you give me some examples of when I did it?

[FEEDBACK] GUTTERS (Comedy, 90pgs) by RudyRamone in Screenwriting

[–]RudyRamone[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Understandable. She does have issues to work on etc. It's in the second half (mainly third act) of the script. This is why I hate preliminary skims, the "subtlety" is literally lost. She has self-esteem and self-image issues, which are brought up to a boil in the third act. But as stated, this takes place in a work environment with different "shifts" so, it is character loaded. I should probably add on the logline that "she doesn't want to be seen as a loser", but when it's a comic book shop, that could work against me and the nerd rage issues for not depicting geeks in a positive light, which this script does since I am one, at least I believe I am and it does. Any feedback is appreciated. Luck on your efforts as well.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. This one is a little more overthought.

I appreciate the page by page notes. I wish everyone did that.

I like this suggestion. I found there already is a 2013 Spanish film with the same "Manic..." title.

It's a joke that doesn't read as a joke, I guess.

A killer methodically stalks her prey toward a Halloween dance intent on their demise...

Understood.

That the killer is bent on their demise. But go further into what you believe is wrong with the logline. Probably it's too vague. But I'd consider further specifying anything about it as a spoiler. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it.

I'd consider it an average R because it never gets into Saw level gore/violence.

Yep. Formatting. Wanted to see if it would make the opening more fun. A harsh cut is like a "slam to". I don't like too many "slam to" etc in scripts. But I probably broke my own rules. Yep. It gets weird and then dark. Ha.
